Gimli’s Colton and Kadriana Lott are off to Ostersund, Sweden, this week to represent Team Canada at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships from April 20-27.
The Lotts earned the right to be Team Canada after winning last month’s Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.
At the World Championships, Canada will be one of 20 countries competing in two pools of 10 teams. Some of the Lott’s toughest competition at the Worlds will come in the form of Team Sweden (Wrana/Wrana), Switzerland (Schwaller/Schwaller), Italy (Constantini/De Zanna) and Norway (Skaslien/Nedregotten).
Canada will play a nine-game round robin beginning on April 20. From there, the top three teams in each pool of 10 will advance to the single elimination championship round. The bronze and gold medal games will take place on April 27.
Live scores for the event can be found on the World Curling website: worldcurling.org/events/worldmixeddoubles. Although the event won’t be televised, people can visit curlingchannel.tv to stream some of Canada’s games online.
